As, many golfers will testify to, while the sport can be wonderfully fulfilling, it can also lead to those moments where you want to hurl your golf club onto the nearest tree or water hazard! For those who have faced such instances, or for those who quietly seethe inwards, patience and persistence are key for calming yourself down before approaching the next hole. Of course, it always helps to have some handy tips that can help improve your overall technique. Be it those planning to golf in Malaysia at such courses as The Els Club Malaysia or at famed USA courses like the Pine Valley Golf Club in New Jersey, here are some golf “tricks” that can help you the next time you tee off.
When on your downswing, avoid straightening the right knee and remember that your trailing knee should be kept flexed. A rigid stance can cause your whole approach and swing to go off course as it were and as you would expect, this leads to improper contact with the ball.
The wrist plays an important part in the swing. When at the top of your swing many golfers have their wrist hinged which is good. However, what some tend to forget is that they should look to maintain this hinging of the wrist right up to the point of impact on the swing. Having the proper angle and wrist position will do wonders for your swing and overall game.
Last but by no means least; don’t forget the importance of proper head rotation during your swing. Remember that during your backswing it is vital that your head isn’t rigid but part of one fluid movement where rather than looking over your shoulder, your head should rotate in sync with your shoulders.
Of course, these techniques and tips can’t be learned overnight, so remember to practice, practice and practice!
